Hello, everyone! My name is Prisillia Morley, also known as Prisi…but commonly known as Morley. Growing up, I had always been very much involved in the arts; I took piano lessons, painting lessons, my parents would take me to art museums and we would go see musical plays when we can. In school, I was that kid who got in trouble for doodling in class while the teacher babbled on about grammars & equations 😉 Aside from being an arty kid, I also loved the outdoors; I absolutely adore the sea and just love the feeling of being surrounded by nature. It goes without saying that I ended up holding such an admiration towards nature and its vast variety of wildlife.

Like everyone else, I enjoy taking photos. Sometimes I take over people’s cameras and take nice photos for them 😉 That camera in particular is my friend Oryza’s. Historical camera with historical photos, that one…

Other than working on graphic design, I love spending time working on motion graphics. Here is me working on a stop-motion animation involving Scrabble pieces! Shout out to my fellow Designer & partner-in-projects Olivia Pangkey for the killer photo.

Through this post I would also like to leave a message to my fellow Designers, that whether we realize it or not, design is a BIG part of conservation. On the one hand, conservation is all about scientific research, but all the different kinds of media that are available out there are pretty much the ammunition for a successful conservation campaign, through which we expose these scientific facts to the people. By using the appropriate media, combined with good design execution, we will be able to send out messages effectively, giving us the amount of impact that we desire and achieving the results that we seek! I really hope that more Designers will realize how much help they can be for the environment & its wildlife and that they’d be willing to get involved with conservation by creating good designs, because it feels good to be good and do good!Melalui postingan ini saya juga ingin meninggalkan pesan untuk teman-teman Desainer lainnya, bahwa sadar atau tidak, desain merupakan bagian BESAR dari konservasi. Di satu sisi dari konservasi, penelitian ilmiah mempunyai peranan besar, tetapi media-media yang tersedia dalam berbagai macam jenis merupakan amunisi dari suatu kampanye konservasi, yang mana kita gunakan untuk menyebarkan hasil-hasil penelitian ilmiah tersebut kepada masyarakat luas. Dengan menggunakan media yang tepat, dikombinasikan dengan eksekusi desain yang baik, kita bisa menyalurkan pesan secara efektif, memberikan kita dampak yang kita inginkan dan mencapai hasil-hasil yang kita cari! Saya sangat berharap bahwa akan lebih banyak lagi Desainer yang sadar akan seberapa banyak bantuan yang bisa mereka berikan untuk lingkungan & satwa lainnya dan semoga menjadi lebih tergerak untuk mau terlibat dalam konservasi dengan menciptakan karya desain yang baik, karena senang rasanya bisa jadi orang baik dan melakukan hal-hal yang baik!

After her stint as one of our volunteer graphic designers, Prisi is full-time on our EARS team as an Education Assistant. We’re looking forward to her input on our upcoming projects!
